With its powerful top and bottom feed mechanism, the machine smoothly feeds a difficult-to-feed material or a multi-layered part of material without pitch errors, achieving consistent seam quality.
Juki DU-1181 available across Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaima, Fujeriah, Um Al Quwain, Abu Dhabi and all GCC & MENA region.
Higher lift of the presser foot
The lift of the presser foot, by the knee lifter, is as high as 15 mm so as to support processes which require a higher lift of the presser foot, such as piping and tape-attaching.
The maximum stitch length is 9 mm
With its stitch length being as large as 9 mm, the machine is applicable to a broader range of sewing processes.
The double-capacity hook is provided as standard
The machine comes with a horizontal-axis double-capacity hook, not only to decrease the frequency of bobbin thread changing, but also to enable sewing work with increased efficiency.
The machine achieves low-vibration and low-noise
The machine head is designed to achieve optimum balance, thereby reducing vibration and noise. The machine affords the operator a comfortable working environment.
Automatic lubricating mechanism
A pump-unit type automatic lubricating mechanism dramatically improves maintainability. The oil amount in the face plate and hook is adjustable.
The top feed mechanism employs a grease tank and oil wick lubrication mechanism.

Juki DU-1181N – frequently asked questions
What is top and bottom feed?
Both the feed dog under the fabric and the presser foot on top move the material together. This stops layers from slipping against each other, so thick or multi-layered work feeds evenly.
What is the maximum stitch length and presser-foot lift?
The maximum stitch length is 9 mm, and the knee lifter raises the presser foot as high as 15 mm.
Why does the double-capacity hook matter?
A larger hook holds more bobbin thread, so operators change bobbins less often on long seams. That matters for heavier threads and high-volume upholstery work.
